FunTranscript
00:02My whole life, I believed my family was broke, until I found out my roommate's billionaire
00:11godmother was actually my mom.
00:17While Lily's godmother pampered her like princess, I worked double shifts just to cover tuition.
00:23When Lily's godmother was taking her all over the world, I collapsed at work because of
00:28a bleeding ulcer and couldn't even afford the ER.
00:31And that very night, Lily's godmother took her to Vesper Vane's sold-out show in Crown
00:36Arena.
00:37Everyone in our dorm envied her, so did I, until Lily posted a video.
00:42Her godmother was celebrating her 21st birthday party.
00:46Look at her godmother.
00:47She looks at Lily like she's a princess.
00:50Think she'd adopt me too?
00:53I froze.
00:54I knew that face, the white mark beneath her left eye.
00:58That was my mother, the mother who claimed she was homesick in bed.
01:03I shot out of my bed and ran straight to that luxurious hotel Lily tagged, only to be stopped
01:09by the security.
01:11I slipped around to the service alley.
01:14I just wanted one close look.
01:16I wanted to prove I was wrong.
01:19Then I heard my father's voice from the terrace above me.
01:24Grace, how much longer are you going to hide this from Nora?
01:27My dad was supposed to be a broke mechanic, covered in grease every day.
01:32Tonight, he wore a tailored suit and a gold watch.
01:35My mother, glowing beside him in emerald silk and cashmere.
01:40They didn't look poor.
01:42They looked filthy rich.
01:48I almost stormed upstairs.
01:50I wanted to shout why they'd lied to me my whole life.
01:52Then Mom spoke again.
01:56If we tell Nora, what happens to Lily?
01:58Her dad died saving me in the earthquake.
02:01I'm all she has.
02:03You know she is too sensitive to share our love with Nora.
02:09Besides, the seer warned us, if Nora's life went too well, Lily would suffer.
02:16You still believe that?
02:20Why wouldn't I?
02:21We pretended to be broke.
02:23We kept Nora on a tight leash.
02:25We even drugged her before the Wildhaven State Scholarship exam.
02:30And look at Lily.
02:31She's doing great.
02:33So clearly, it worked.
02:35My stomach dropped.
02:37They had drugged me.
02:41Nora's our daughter too.
02:43How is any of this fair to her?
02:45Enough.
02:46I know what I'm doing.
02:48Everyone is exactly where they need to be.
02:51Let's keep it that way.
02:52My whole body started shaking.
02:54I had been the favorite to rank first in the state.
02:57The prize would have covered college.
02:59So I studied until I could barely see straight.
03:01But on exam day, I never woke up.
03:05I missed the first section.
03:06And lost everything.
03:08For years, I blamed myself.
03:11I thought I was lazy, weak, a screw-up.
03:13I worked myself sick trying to make up for it.
03:16Turns out, I hadn't failed.
03:18My mother had set me up.
03:20All because some back-alley seer fed her a line.
03:29What if Nora finds out?
03:30She won't.
03:31Right then, my phone buzzed.
03:34Get yourself a berry shake, sweetheart.
03:36We don't have much, but you deserve a treat.
03:39How much did you send her?
03:4123.56.
03:43Why that exact amount?
03:45That's the point.
03:46She'll think it's all I have.
03:48Then she'll feel guilty.
03:49She'll pick up another shift so I can rest.
03:52Keep her exhausted, and she won't start asking questions.
03:55I opened our old messages, 1812, 2143, 1487.
04:02Every weird little amount had made me feel loved and guilty.
04:06So I skipped meals, stopped buying clothes, worked myself sick.
04:11None of those numbers had been random.
04:13Mom had calculated every cent.
04:15Just enough to keep me grateful.
04:17Never enough to let me escape.
04:19I wanted to scream, cry, throw up.
04:23Instead, I just stood there.
04:25Some stupid part of me still wanted to believe she loved me.
04:28So I gave her one last chance.
04:31I walked far enough away that she couldn't see me.
04:34Then I called her.
04:40Hey, sweetheart.
04:42Everything okay?
04:44I couldn't speak at first.
04:46Nora?
04:47Mom, Professor Holloway has been harassing me.
04:50He keeps finding ways to get me alone in his office.
04:53He sends me disgusting pictures.
04:56He says I won't graduate unless I give him what he wants.
04:59Mom, I need you to help me.
05:02Silence.
05:02I told myself she could still fix this.
05:05She could tell me the truth.
05:06She could stand up for me.
05:08Just once.
05:09And I'd forget everything I'd heard tonight.
05:11Then she sighed.
05:14Nora, Professor Holloway is a very respected man.
05:17Maybe you misunderstood him.
05:18I didn't.
05:20We don't have money, sweetheart.
05:22We can't take on someone like him.
05:24You're so close to graduating.
05:27Can't you just keep your head down until then?
05:29But the way he looks at me makes me uncomfortable.
05:33The fear I'd buried all semester came rushing back.
05:36I could barely breathe.
05:38Then maybe stop dressing in a way that gives him the wrong idea.
05:49There was a pause.
05:51Even she seemed to realize how cruel that sounded.
05:54Then she coughed.
05:55When she spoke again, her voice was weak.
05:57I'm sorry, sweetheart.
05:59Your mom's just useless.
06:01If school is making you this miserable, come home.
06:03Drop out.
06:04I'll take care of you.
06:06I didn't raise you to be successful.
06:08I just want you to be happy.
06:09Her coughing got worse, and suddenly it clicked.
06:13She had always done this.
06:14When I qualified for a statewide math program,
06:17she started taking more painkillers in front of me.
06:19When I got invited to an elite summer program,
06:22she made sure I saw her counting coins.
06:24She made sure I heard the landlord demanding rent.
06:27She never actually told me no.
06:29She just made saying, yes, feel selfish.
06:32So I always gave up my spot.
06:34But she never did that to Lily.
06:36She called Lily every night.
06:38She wired her money whenever she asked.
06:40When one professor gave Lily a hard time,
06:42mom donated millions to the university.
06:45She bought Lily a spot in every competition that mattered.
06:48I was her daughter.
06:49So why was I the one she kept tearing down?
06:52Mom, why?
06:54The call had already ended.
06:55Then I heard her voice from the terrace.
06:58No coughing now.
07:01Push Holloway harder.
07:02Keep Nora so overwhelmed she can't graduate.
07:05Better yet, make sure she's too exhausted to even hold down a job.
07:09My legs gave out.
07:11Holloway had harassed me for an entire year.
07:14I had reported him to the department.
07:16I had filed complaints with the university.
07:19Every single one had disappeared.
07:21Now I knew why.
07:22The professor who had been tormenting me was working for my mother.
07:26And like an idiot, I had suffered through it alone.
07:28I sat there until the hotel went dark.
07:31I cried until there was nothing left.
07:34Then I stood up.
07:35I was done crying.
07:36I knew exactly what I had to do.
07:39By sunrise, I had emailed the recording to Rowan Energy's corporate account.
07:44Then I walked into Professor Crane's office.
07:46Is the Green Core Challenge application still open?
07:51I held your spot for two days.
07:53Are you finally saying yes?
07:56Yes.
07:56And this time, no one's taking this from me again.
08:02I looked down at the competition roster.
08:05The Green Core Challenge was run by 10 of the best universities in the country.
08:09If I placed, I'd get a cash prize.
08:12And a semester at Crown Ridge University.
08:15My dream school.
08:16I had almost turned it down because I was worried about mom.
08:20Not anymore.
08:21For the next two weeks, I studied every spare second.
08:24Then mom called.
08:26Hey, sweetheart.
08:27How's school?
08:29I heard you're representing the university in some big competition.
08:32The Green Core Challenge.
08:33That's amazing.
08:35Don't put too much pressure on yourself.
08:36Just getting in is a huge deal.
08:39Do you need money?
08:39You should buy something nice for the competition.
08:42You don't want to embarrass the university?
08:44Then she started coughing.
08:48Nora, your mom's been cropping up blood again.
08:51Stop it.
08:52I'm fine.
08:53Don't listen to her.
08:55You focus on the competition.
08:56I'll be fine.
08:57A month ago, I would have dropped everything and gone home.
09:01But now I knew the routine.
09:03Scare me.
09:03Make me feel guilty.
09:05Get me back home where she could control me.
09:08Did I really matter that little to her?
09:09I'm not dropping out of the competition.
09:12I'm not dropping out of the competition.
09:12Silence.
09:13Just for a second.
09:14Of course not.
09:15Go win the whole thing.
09:17I went straight back to studying.
09:21Nora, you scored an 89 on last year's qualifying exam.
09:24What did last year's winner get?
09:2679.
09:28My heart slammed against my ribs.
09:29I could actually win.
09:31On the morning of the competition, I reached the team bus.
09:34The second I saw Lily, I knew something was wrong.
09:39Nora, the dean pulled you from the team.
09:42What?
09:44I tried to fight it.
09:46He wouldn't budge.
09:48You can't compete today.
09:53Why the hell not?
09:55Nora Rowan.
09:56Who are you?
09:58You owe $500,000.
10:00I don't owe anyone anything.
10:02He shoved a contract in front of me.
10:04My signature was at the bottom.
10:06Payment was due yesterday.
10:07That's not my signature.
10:11This could be identity theft.
10:12Or it could be exactly what it looks like.
10:15Half a million dollars from a private lender?
10:17What were you thinking?
10:18I didn't borrow that money.
10:22Professor Crane, you know me.
10:24Tell him.
10:27She's telling the truth.
10:29Nora would never sign something like this.
10:30Take all of them to the security and sort this out.
10:32She's off the team.
10:32You can't do this.
10:33She earned that spot.
10:34The bus leaves in two minutes.
10:37Wait.
10:38She leaned in close enough that only I could hear her.
10:41You really thought being smarter than me would matter?
10:43If I want your spot, it's mine.
10:45Don't worry, Nora.
10:47I'll compete for both of us.
10:49Please.
10:50This competition could change my life.
10:51Just let me go.
10:52Can't do that.
10:54Why not?
10:55Because we were paid to make sure you missed that bus.
10:58My blood went cold.
11:00Paid by who?
11:02He didn't answer.
11:03He didn't have to.
11:05Only one person had every detail needed to open an account in my name.
11:10My mother.
11:12Why did my own mother keep tearing my life apart?
11:18Pull yourself together, miss.
11:20Our client had one last request.
11:21You're gonna watch the whole competition.
11:26The problems were easy.
11:28I could have solved them with my eyes closed.
11:31But Lily didn't even pick up her pen.
11:33She went to sleep.
11:34I watched her throw away the future my mother had stolen from me.
11:40Nora?
11:40What happened?
11:42Why is Lily competing instead of you?
11:44Still pretending.
11:45Even now.
11:47Is that it?
11:49Yeah, we're done.
11:55That afternoon, I filed my withdrawal papers.
11:58I packed up my dorm.
11:59By nightfall, I was gone.
12:01Meanwhile, Mom kept calling me.
12:04For one second, she looked worried.
12:06Did you see me on the live stream?
12:08And just like that, she forgot about me.
12:11Did you have fun?
12:12So much fun.
12:14Then that's all that matters.
12:15Go pack.
12:16We're taking that trip, I promised you.
12:19They left the country that night.
12:21One week later.
12:23Post that one.
12:24Grace opened her phone.
12:26That was when she saw our message thread.
12:28Nothing from me in seven days.
12:31She called.
12:32Straight to voicemail.
12:33Then she tried from Dad's phone.
12:35Same thing.
12:36Finally, she called Professor Crane.
12:38The second he answered, she blurted it out.
12:41Professor Crane, this is Nora's mother.
12:43Do you know where she is?
12:45She won't answer my calls.
12:46Nora?
12:47Yes.
12:49Mrs. Rowan.
12:51Nora withdrawn from the university a week ago.
12:53What?
12:54Mom?
12:59She withdraw?
13:01Who signed off on that?
13:02She can't drop out without a parent's permission.
13:05Why wasn't I notified?
13:06What kind of professor lets a student just disappear?
13:09She kept going until she ran out of breath.
13:11Professor Crane finally spoke.
13:14Mrs. Rowan, Nora is 21.
13:17She's an adult.
13:18She doesn't need your permission.
13:20Actually, there is something I don't understand.
13:23Our records list this number under Lily Viper's family sponsorship file, not Nora's.
13:29It's the number you provided when you signed the building donation on Lily's behalf.
13:33Mom went quiet.
13:34Her enrollment paperwork still has my old number.
13:37I changed it and forgot to update the school.
13:39When did she leave?
13:40The day of the Green Corps challenge.
13:42She filed the paperwork that afternoon.
13:44Then she cleared out her dorm.
13:46Where did she go?
13:48I don't know.
13:49She didn't say.
13:50Mom hung up and drove straight to Burrow Row, to the apartment where she and Dad had spent
13:55years pretending to be poor.
13:56She prayed I would be waiting inside.
13:58The door opened.
14:00Stale air hit her.
14:03Nora?
14:04Nothing.
14:05No one had been there in months.
14:09Mom stood frozen in the doorway.
14:11Dust covered the couch, the table, even the framed family photo she had staged years ago.
14:16Then she remembered.
14:18I hadn't been home once since starting college.
14:20After I moved into the dorm, she got tired of pretending.
14:23She cut my living money.
14:25Told me bus fare was too expensive.
14:27Pushed me to take more shifts.
14:28And it worked.
14:29I'd been too busy surviving to come home.
14:32Dust covered that room too.
14:33I hadn't come back at all.
14:35Grace?
14:36What happened?
14:37Nora's gone.
14:38She dropped out and disappeared.
14:39What if somebody took her?
14:41Why did we leave the country?
14:42How did I go a whole week without calling her?
14:46What have I done?
14:48Don't panic.
14:49I'll find her.
14:50He called his executive assistant.
14:51File a police report.
14:53Pull traffic footage from every district and transit hub.
14:55Put our entire security team on it.
14:5815 minutes later, his phone rang.
15:02Mr. Roden, I found something in the company inbox.
15:04It's from Nora.
15:08How did she know our corporate email?
15:10Play it.
15:11Now.
15:11Static hissed through the speaker.
15:14Then mom heard her own voice.
15:16If we tell Nora the truth, what happens to Lily?
15:18Her father died, saving me.
15:21She has no one else.
15:23Another clip played.
15:24If Nora's life goes too well, Lily will suffer.
15:28That's why we drugged her before the scholarship exam.
15:31Then another.
15:32Keep her exhausted and she won't start asking questions.
15:35Tell Holloway to push harder.
15:37The recording ended.
15:39She knew?
15:41She heard all of it?
15:42Dad couldn't answer.
15:44That's why she left.
15:45She knows everything.
15:47She doesn't want me anymore.
15:50Find her.
15:51Police, private investigators, missing person alerts.
15:54Use everyone we have.
15:56They searched for one week, then two, then a month.
15:59Posters covered transit stations across half of Wildhaven.
16:02Every lead went nowhere.
16:05My parents spent whatever it took to find me.
16:07But I was already beyond their reach.
16:10Six months passed.
16:12Welcome.
16:13What can I get you?
16:18Nora?
16:19What are you doing here?
16:21Do you have any idea how long we've been looking for you?
16:25You saw that.
16:26You knew we were searching.
16:28Why didn't you call me?
16:30Ma'am, if you're not ready to check out, please step aside.
16:33There are other customers waiting.
16:35Don't call me ma'am.
16:37I'll take every cake in the store.
16:39Pick whatever you want.
16:40It's on me.
16:41Then leave.
16:42The customers exchanged looks, but free cake was free cake.
16:46Minutes later, the bakery was empty.
16:49Now will you talk to me?
16:51About what?
16:52About coming home.
16:54Why?
16:55I did exactly what you wanted.
16:57I dropped out.
16:59I work behind a bakery counter.
17:00I'll never beat Lily at anything again.
17:06So why are you still looking for me?
17:08Am I not miserable enough yet?
17:10No, Nora, that's not-
17:12Which part isn't true?
17:14You didn't drug me before my scholarship exam?
17:16You didn't pay Holloway to harass me?
17:18You didn't take out half a million dollars in my name?
17:20Her mouth opened.
17:22Nothing came out.
17:24I can explain.
17:26You don't need to.
17:28Your total is $12,750.
17:31Nora.
17:32Cash or card?
17:33Her paw trembled as she pulled out her card.
17:35The payment terminal chimed.
17:37I boxed the cakes one by one.
17:3927 in all.
17:40Mom watched me work through her tears.
17:43Yell at me.
17:44Tell me you hate me.
17:46Just stop treating me like a stranger.
17:49I sealed the last box.
17:51Your order is ready.
17:52She followed me outside.
17:58Nora, please come home.
18:01Enjoy your purchase.
18:03Then I went back inside.
18:06The next afternoon, she bought a coffee and sat outside the bakery for six hours.
18:11I never looked at her.
18:12The day after that, she brought Dad.
18:15They sat on the bench like two expensive statues.
18:17Their ringed tails rested motionless beside them.
18:20They didn't come inside.
18:21They didn't speak.
18:23When my shift ended, they followed me.
18:25I walked three blocks through Burrow Row and entered its oldest mixed-species apartment building.
18:30They stopped outside my open door.
18:32Heat rolled out of the room.
18:34The building's climate system had been broken for years.
18:37You live here?
18:38My apartment was under 500 square feet.
18:41One narrow bed.
18:42One folding table.
18:43A plastic wardrobe.
18:44The window wouldn't close.
18:46Paint peeled from the walls.
18:53This place isn't safe.
18:56I'll rent you something better.
18:58Or buy you a place.
19:00Ten places, if that's what it takes.
19:03And she needs air conditioning.
19:05This heat isn't safe for a red panda.
19:08Just talk to us.
19:10I've lived in places like this my whole life.
19:19You're only horrified because you finally had to see it.
19:27The next morning, I found a berry shake outside, two warm fruit pastries, and a brand new fan.
19:32I left everything untouched.
19:33By evening, they had taken it away.
19:35The next day, they left a basket of my favorite fruit.
19:37Then, workers replaced the climate control system for the entire building.
19:41Mom and Dad rented the apartment next door.
19:43For days, they kept leaving gifts outside my door.
19:46Finally, I caught them doing it.
19:50What do you want?
19:53We're trying to help.
19:55You're making it worse.
19:58You chose Lily, so live with your choice.
20:02You don't get to destroy my life, then show up and play loving parents.
20:09We were going to tell you everything after Lily graduated.
20:14Then we would have supported you.
20:17Grad school, research, anything you wanted.
20:21After you cost me my scholarship?
20:23After you stole my spot in the competition?
20:25After you paid Holloway to keep me from graduating?
20:28How were you planning to give those years back?
20:30Neither of them answered.
20:31You weren't sorry I was hurting.
20:33You were sorry I found out.
20:35That's not true.
20:36Then what do you want?
20:38Come home, so you can keep protecting Lily from me?
20:41Lily's gone.
20:42We threw her out.
20:45Why?
20:49The Seer confessed.
20:51Lily paid her $2,000.
20:53Every word was scripted.
20:54The prophecy that ruined my life had cost less than one of Lily's handbags.
20:58She used my guilt over her father.
21:00She wanted you out of the way, so we kicked her out.
21:03We can be a family again.
21:05If Lily hadn't lied, would you still be hurting me?
21:09Silence.
21:10That was my answer.
21:12Lily paid for the lie.
21:13She gave you an excuse, but you did the rest.
21:17I don't expect you to forgive me.
21:19Just give us one chance.
21:21You're still so young.
21:23You need someone to take care of you.
21:27Let go of me.
21:29I already have new parents.
21:32What did you just say?
21:35What the hell are you doing to my daughter?
21:41Your daughter?
21:43Nora is my daughter.
21:44I gave birth to her.
21:46Don't touch her.
21:47Get out of my way.
21:48You've been lurking outside her home for days.
21:51And now you're putting your paws on her?
21:54Those are the two who've been stalking her.
21:56Nora, stay behind us.
21:57I called the police.
21:58We're her parents!
22:01Kidnappers!
22:04More neighbors joined in.
22:06Overripe fruit, tomatoes, one very angry cabbage.
22:12Honey, are you hurt?
22:13I'm fine.
22:17You have your own suite waiting for you at the estate.
22:20Why on earth are you secretly living in this place?
22:26We told you tuition was covered, food was covered, everything was covered.
22:32We adopted you.
22:34That means we take care of you.
22:36Please don't be mad.
22:42I wanted to buy you something with my own money, to celebrate us becoming a family.
22:47You took this job just to buy us these?
22:50Do you like them?
22:51She tried to stay angry.
22:52She lasted three seconds, then she crushed me against her chest.
22:55Don't just stand there.
22:57Help me be mad at her.
22:59Not a chance.
23:04So those two red pandas, they're your birth parents?
23:10Becoming Eleanor and Arthur's daughter was a complete accident.
23:14Six months earlier, I sat alone beside the Wildhaven River.
23:18I wasn't trying to jump.
23:19Arthur thought I was.
23:22What the hell?
23:23Don't move.
23:24Put me down.
23:28What were you thinking?
23:30I was sitting.
23:31On a bridge railing.
23:32Because the bench was wet.
23:38They still refused to leave me alone.
23:40Not until a responding officer confirmed I wasn't in danger.
23:43Then they took me to a nearby diner.
23:45I finished a plate of bamboo waffles before I realized how hungry I was.
23:49What?
23:51Nothing.
23:52You're hungry, so eat.
23:54No comment about how fast I ate.
23:56No reminder that feeding me was a burden.
23:59Just warm food.
24:00Something inside me cracked.
24:02You don't have to tell us anything.
24:04I stared down at the plate.
24:06A tear splashed beside the untouched waffles.
24:11My mother paid a predator to ruin my life.
24:15Once I started, I couldn't stop.
24:18I told them about the fake poverty.
24:21The sleeping pills before my scholarship exam.
24:24Professor Holloway.
24:25The loan in my name.
24:28The competition spot Lily stole from me.
24:37You went through all that alone?
24:39I waited for the questions I always got.
24:41Why didn't you leave sooner?
24:43Why didn't you fight back?
24:44Why didn't you tell anyone?
24:46They never came.
24:50Do you still have the recording?
24:52Yes.
24:53Good, we can deal with the debt.
24:55But first, what do you want?
24:57No one had ever asked me that.
24:59I don't know.
25:00I left because I was angry.
25:02I don't have a plan.
25:03I don't even have somewhere to sleep.
25:06I only know I'm never going back.
25:10Then don't.
25:11Come stay with us.
25:14And if you want, you could be our daughter.
25:19I thought they'd only asked because they felt sorry for me.
25:23So I said no.
25:24The next morning, the tusks brought me to their enormous dining room.
25:28One end of the elephant-sized table had been fitted with a lower surface for small mammals.
25:32They covered it with documents, identification, property records, credit reports,
25:37background checks, medical exams, psychological evaluations,
25:40a cross-species home safety inspection, blueprints for a climate-controlled suite built to my size.
25:46What is all this?
25:46Everything you should know before trusting us.
25:49Check every page.
25:51Call every reference.
25:53Take as long as you need.
25:54They weren't asking me to prove I deserved a place in their family.
25:58They were proving they were safe enough to enter mine.
26:01We couldn't have children, but that doesn't mean you have to say yes.
26:06If you do, it should be because you want this too.
26:09I read every document, then I took a breath.
26:15I do.
26:16I want to be your daughter.
26:19They hired an attorney.
26:21They completed the adult adoption process.
26:23The Wildhaven Family Registry entered my new legal name, Nora Tusk.
26:27With them, being a daughter wasn't a debt I had to repay.
26:30Do you want to go back with them?
26:37Wherever you and Dad are, that's home.
26:40It always will be.
26:42Eleanor's entire face lit up.
26:45We packed my things and headed for the stairs.
26:48Mom and Dad were waiting below.
26:51Nora, wait.
26:54Your enrollment has been restored.
26:57Your Green Core score is still valid.
26:59You can rejoin the competition next term.
27:01Whatever you want to study, wherever you want to go, we'll support you.
27:06Please come home.
27:07I checked the university seals.
27:09The documents were real.
27:12You think this is a gift?
27:15You're not giving me a future.
27:17You're returning what you stole.
27:21Fixing my enrollment doesn't erase what it cost me.
27:26But what do two elephants know about raising a red panda?
27:30Three of you crammed into a place like this?
27:33Come with us.
27:34You'll never have to worry about money again.
27:36The world isn't kind to a young red panda without a powerful family behind her.
27:40Without the Rowan name, how far do you think you'll get?
27:46Arthur, I think it's time we introduced ourselves.
27:52President Hale, Arthur Tusk.
27:55My daughter is transferring to Crown Ridge.
27:58Have your admissions board review Nora Tusk's file tonight.
28:00Her Green Core qualifying score is 89.
28:03Silence filled the hallway.
28:05Crown Ridge was Wildhaven's most selective interspecies university.
28:09Its multi-scale laboratories and climate-adaptive dorms
28:13served mammals from every district.
28:15Its president didn't make house calls for ordinary donors.
28:19You expect us to believe that?
28:21With a score like that, she doesn't need a favor.
28:24I'll bring her transfer offer myself, Mr. Tusk.
28:29I own every industrial park in the South District.
28:36And my family built Wildhaven's railways, climate grid, and multi-level bridges.
28:42They had shown me their finances before the adoption,
28:45but I had never understood how powerful they were.
28:49We didn't tell you because we wanted you to choose us.
28:53Not the Tusk name.
28:55Mom and Dad couldn't speak.
28:56Rowan Energy had spent months chasing Wildhaven's largest infrastructure contract.
29:01The project couldn't move forward without Tusk Industries.
29:05The elephants Dad had just mocked could decide his company's future with one call.
29:10Arthur never threatened him with it.
29:11You want to take our daughter?
29:13Maybe ask yourselves if you ever deserve to be her parents.
29:17Nora, please.
29:19I looked at the papers, then at the two red pandas who had spent my whole life teaching me that
29:24love had to hurt.
29:26Finally, I looked at the elephants who had never once asked me to suffer for theirs.
29:32We walked down the stairs together, through the narrow borough row alley, past the building where my old life had
29:39tried one last time to trap me.
29:41At the end of the block, I looked back.
29:44Grace and Victor still stood beneath the hallway light.
29:47I didn't forgive them.
29:49I didn't punish them either.
29:50I simply stopped going back.
29:52Let's go home.
